Rangers are reportedly leading the race to sign PSV winger Couhaib Driouech, who is open to a move to Scotland, as they prepare a new bid.
Bid expected to meet valuation
An opening bid from the Glasgow giants was rejected by the Eredivisie champions, but it is anticipated that PSV's £6m valuation will be met as Derek McInnes ramps up his summer recruitment drive.
The 24-year-old has been on a list of wingers Rangers have monitored over previous seasons, but they face competition from Danny Rohl's RB Salzburg, who are also keen.
Player's preference
Voetbal International report that the forward is "open to a move to Scotland, where a long-term contract awaits him." It is claimed that Driouech's preference is for a switch to Scotland over Austria, and Rangers are now "leading the race" for his signature.
Other winger targets
On Wednesday, Rangers brought in Japan winger Daisuke Yokota from Hannover, and have also been keeping tabs on Brighton talent Amario Cozier-Duberry. Official discussions have begun over a potential deal for the 21-year-old, after the Premier League club rejected a £5m bid from Anderlecht.
The Argus report that boss Fabian Hurzeler is considering his attacking options after giving the attacker a chance in pre-season, and following the exit of Danny Welbeck looks unlikely to make any imminent decisions.
Markelo situation
The window to sign Jahnoah Markelo from Coventry City also appears to be closing. Rangers showed interest in attacker Markelo last year, prior to his €5m move from FC Zurich to the Sky Blues in January. However, he could leave following their Premier League return having made just five appearances for the club after the switch, with boss Frank Lampard reportedly ready to green light a loan exit to aid the player's development.
Reports south of the border claim that Al-Ahly are pushing for a deal, with the Coventry Telegraph noting there is still "strong interest" from Rangers in Markelo.
